| Abstract | Scombrotoxin (also called scombroid) food poisoning is caused by ingestion of high doses of histamine. It is the second most common type of seafood poisoning, mostly in tropical climates. The largest scombroid food poisoning outbreak reported from East Asia occurred during 1997 in Taiwan, involving 94 kindergarten students. A recent report from MMWR described two scombroid outbreaks in North America associated with fish imported from Vietnam and Indonesia. However, few published articles describe the epidemiology of scombroid outbreaks in the Greater Mekong Region. |
